Title: A non-slip, waterproof, water vapor permeable fabric
Inventor: SCHMIEDER MICHAEL A
IPC: B32B27/12
Filed: 1999-03-09
Abstract: A non-slip, waterproof, water vapor permeable fabric and method of making are described. The fabric is made by obtaining a waterproof, water vapor permeable film and adhering one side of the film to a layer of fabric which may be a stretch fabric. The other side of the film is provided with a discontinuous coating of an elastomer which has an elastic modulus of less than 5.5N/mm2.  The discontinuous coating may take various forms including a pattern of dots or a grid of intersecting lines. The discontinuous coating may optionally project above the surface of the film. The presence of the discontinuous coating of elastomer results in a fabric with a static coefficient of friction of greater than about 1.0 on the discontinuously coated side of the fabric.  The film is preferably a porous expanded polytetrafluoroethylene film provided with a hydrophilic coating on one surface; the hydrophilic coating may serve as an adhesive for joining the one surface of the film to the layer of fabric.  The inventive fabric is useful for various applications such as articles of medical protective clothing including surgical drapes and liners for orthotic braces, which applications may benefit from the non-slip character of the fabric.

Patent CA-2323307-A1 (CA)
Title: Crosslinked, heat shrinkable polypropylene compositions
Inventor: HEYDRICH MARCUS P W
IPC: C08K5/103
Filed: 2000-10-16
Abstract: A heat-shrinkable article suitable for use as an insulating or coating material comprises a crosslinked composition of a polypropylene homopolymer or copolymer and an ethylene-propylene elastomer. The article is formed by a process comprising: i) creating a blend of the polypropylene homopolymer or copolymer and the ethylene-propylene elastomer by melt mixing;  ii) melt processing the blend produced in i) to produce a melt processed material; iii) crosslinking the melt processed material produced in ii) by exposing it to radiation to produce a crosslinked material; iv) stretching the crosslinked material at a first temperature close to or above its softening or melting point and subsequently cooling it to a second temperature below its softening or melting point, to thereby freeze the crosslinked material in its stretched form. Subsequent heating of the article close to or above its softening point or crystalline melting point results in recovery of the pre-stretched dimensions of the article. Due to its relatively high content of polypropylene, the heat-shrinkable article thus produced has greater toughness and rigidity than polyethylene-based systems, making it suitable for use as insulation for wires and cables a heat-shrinkable corrosion resistant sleeves for high-temperature transmission pipeline joints, and for heat-shrinkable tubing or shapes for electrical insulation and mechanical protection.

Patent CA-2345821-A1 (CA)
Title: Method for matching data rates
Inventor: KOHN REINHARD
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 1999-10-01
Abstract: According to the invention, a ser-vice-specific static rate adaptation factor that controls a service-specific quality of service is determined in a manner already known per se. A dynamic rate-oriented rate adaptation factor is determined for a link, whereby said factor adapts the hypo-thetical volume of data to a volume of data that is available in the next frame while tak-ing into account the adaptation of the ser-vice-specific data rate that is yet to be per-formed. It is possible to pass through sev-eral optimization loops if said data volume is not rigidly predetermined as a result of a sufficient number of transmission channels and spread factors. A service-specific rate adaptation factor is determined by combin-ing the static rate adaptation factor and the dynamic link-oriented rate adaptation factor, whereupon one single and therefore one-step adaptation of the data rate is carried out. Service data is thus compressed or expanded only once with said service-specific rate adaptation factors and inputted into a frame for transmission.  The method is suitable for CDMA transmission methods within a UMTS.
